I strongly suspect that the game "Cyberdimension Neptunia: 4 Goddesses online" will ship (be purchasable from steam) with 3 serious defects, (listed below) that will dramatically affect the multiplayer negatively, I am prepared to "protest" this if I cannot receive confirmation and/or evidence that these issues will be fixed.

1. Being KOd in lobby will kick you from the group, if the host is KOd, the group disbands and the mission fails. (This occurs despite the presence of revive items)2. The netcode is really bad, causing notably jittering throughout the experience for client players (non-host).3. Completing missions will disband the group.

Lately I've been bothered by something quite trivial in the grand scheme of things, and even in my own life, and possibly even in the game that I'm concern it'll manifest in (since I doubt reviewers will even mention it), the multiplayer mode for this game is pretty bad; it has bad netcode, causing jittery movements as you move your characters. If you are KOd, you are kicked! from a room, and if the host is KOd the room disbands!, and the room disbands once the mission you've been doing with your teammates is completed.Now, all 3 of these problems that I believe to be "serious" are indeed endurable, and don't by any means render the mode unplayable or hopelessly glitchy, however, they disrupt and sabotage the multiplayer experience and undo some of tamsoft's (or IF or CH?) efforts, and appears to be the kinds of problems that can be easily remedied.

Now, as to my passions, I've lately been having them, caused by me seeing the 4GO multiplayer videos on youtube, and I was thrown into despair when I saw this and seriously thought about it. Indeed CH IF (or tamsoft?) has a habit of releasing games with these kinds of ostensibly easily correctable mistakes whose correction would be worthwhile to pursue, (like the over-sized iris heart image in rebirth 3, or the lack of "horizontal mouse input inversion in V2) however instead of being some demoralized cyber-ghost as seemingly most of us have become. I plan to become insistent and "signal-boosting" (as in repeating this request often); I PLAN TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT INSTEAD OF STANDING IDLY BY (thoughts of absurd heroism fill my imagination).Why have I become this you might ask? I've sent about 4-7 glitches to the email address [email protected], and it strongly felt that my feedback was being ignored, while some of the glitches and suggestions were utterly trivial and not worth even glancing at, some were substantial, (like the aforementioned lack of mouse input inversion), and yet I never got a reply, and the things I thought were most serious (the mouse thing) weren't fixed. Additionally the oversized iris heart image in rebirth 3 still is there (and you can even see it in the steam discussions page for that game to this day), and you've yet to fix that, further harming your reputation.As a consequence I get mad, and I no longer think that a polite and appropriate method is going to work: I'm prepared to revised my methods.However I'll still try to voice my concerns covertly, as to not break my personal oaths to digression and politeness (even if they weaken in this context), and I hope you as forum moderator can relay my concerns (and hopefully my full list of suggestions) to them for their consideration, with a fix for the 3 main issues that I DEMAND are corrected.

I've prepared quite a complaint of sorts (and my will for signal-boost this to kingdom come); a list of suggestions that I'd love to have implemented into 4GO with reasons, and counter-reasons for their implementation into the game. Most of these ideas, are auxiliary features; while not being "economical" or "rational" (what a depressing notions), would most likely improve the game, and indeed improve review scores. I'll enjoy it, your fans will enjoy it, and hopefully you'll benefit, in our (romanticized) symbiotic relationship taught in our schools (capitalism).I ask you, to fix these problems before I am compelled to complain about it; I feel if I don't complain, nothing will happen.

Please tend to my concerns!I've nearly prepared a document and some "infrastructure" to express myself. We can both save each other a lot of energy if you just placate me, and Implement the changes I seek then everything goes as planned without a hitch for you and me. I don't think I'm being UNREASONABLE here to have these changes implemented.

My passions have fizzled, I like the sense of politeness that I am compelled to. However I'm reserving those more disruptive forces for the time where the game is released, and the multiplayer mode is BAD.

Yes, this is a player forum. It is highly unlikely staff visits this forum. You may find a contact form on the IFI website or you may contact them through Twitter. Their PR is pretty great, I've had numerous pleasant experiences communicating with Iffy.

I just advise you drastically abridge your concerns into a paragraph or two, keeping the most important details. Be kind and professional. I don't intend to be demeaning. When communicating with busy developers or publishers, you have to keep in mind what they are willing to sit down and read.

Also keep in mind that Iffy only provides us with the game in English. The lovely folks in Japan are the ones actually behind the games and how they run. Communication with them is basically impossible due to the language barrier and more.

I've been contacting them, and they seem to have selective reading, I've yet to see any feedback relating to the 3 problems, they've been awefully evasionary.

I've likely soiled my first impression with my threat of getting other people to know (likely a huge mistake), so maybe they hate me too?

I'll probably need to abridge my concerns, really the trio of concerns is a copy-paste from my longer document, I should have tried a smaller list, with links to the larger document.However I do not believe anymore that a single message is going to work, I've done so about megademsion V2, to no avail.I am inclined toward the vulgar; that is the frequency (and worse, potency) of the messages, inspired by those who harass destiny 2 and starwars: battlefront 2.

And you may be correct that my situation is hopeless (or was made such) due to the language barrier. Maybe 4GO's multiplayer mode will be fated to be a jittery, glitchy, user unfriendly experience, alone at the bottom of imaginary lists in just bad it is (which it is if my memories of other games are correct).

In less than 24 Hours the moment of truth comes for me, my investments have ridden me to absurdity.Will they let the game be afflicted by the 3 problems that I so care about? OR will they release another shoddy port that further cements a reputation of mediocrity?I hope they've improved.

Hours left, and concern persists, today determines if the trinity of developers have improved to degrees we'd all like to have and expect, or if the momentum of the past drags it down to a important mediocrity. Will they have improved? Or will they maintain.Will anger rise? Or will satisfaction rise?I hope I can be spared my expressions by their efforts.

Something I forgot to mention. In my 25 years of gaming, I don't think I've ever seen a port that was overall improved over its original counterpart. I'm sure there are some arguable examples, but it is not common. Even when additional content or fixes are included, there is often something missing or ajar. It is a very different obstacle porting something that was developed on one platform to another. I just want to throw that out there, because I fear this Steam port may disappoint you. Based on history and logic, if anything, online may be worse. Try not to get your hopes up. Though, I may be entirely wrong. This may be a bug free, improved multiplay port.

I've been getting updates on this forum thread in my email consistently for what feels like ever, so I can't help but wonder how you like the Steam port now that it's out.

Yeah, yeah, maybe, maybe I should have given up on this company, maybe I should have delegated this most recent game to the mediocrity it most likely would be, even with the additional DLC, I mean the port is ok (although it still needs improvement) but the original quality of the game is so mediocre. I should have seen this coming, I hoped too much.

The port? well, it has precisely the problems I was worried about (from the PS4 version), it has a bunch of ancillary problems that come as a by-product of porting.Like the standard WSAD controls for navigating the "town", (I use ESDF), The 2-minute long startup loading screen that is not dressed up in any way with logos or menus, the various soft-locks I'v encountered, the inability to change keybinds outside of the main menu.So meh, my expectations were crushed, 2/10.

Bummer, sorry it didn't work out for you. I think the long boot time is due to Tamsoft's use of the Unreal engine. I'm really not sure though. Thankfully I can really groove on that song while waiting. I hope you can still enjoy the game. I personally adore it, but I know not everyone thinks the same.

The game is now contaminated with such ill-sentiments that it is as if you're were an expectant kid on Christmas, but shocked that never received thing things you want. Perhaps more so, since you had to pay for this "gift". The introductory loading screen comes off as mocking now, as if to show "Hah, we're going to make games this flawed and we aren't going to apologize for it! The main hub now seems like a wreck, since it has that multiplayer house which reminds me of the shock of just how nearly-inconceivably bad multiplayer was, and how bad it was on the PS4 version.

As infantile as I am, I was really looking forwards to that multiplayer mode, I was an expectant child on Christmas for just that feature, thinking it would be like megatagmension but better, with more team-roles (instead of everyone just attacking the boss), with more fun grind (like the level 200 cap, and the improved items), and with improved graphics, and better environments.I thought that when they were using the unreal engine, that they would have improved That the game not only would look better, but would have more features, and have less bugs.While it may have more features, it has too many bugs, and terrible design choices in the multiplayer.

Actually it's dozens, and few people told me about it. Most are impulsive.Really, I shouldn't take reddit "downvotes" (among other sloppy metrics) with as much insult as I thought. I should use it (among other things) as a way to peer into the hive-mind.

I'm personally not fond of reddit metrics and the promotion of "hive-minded" thinking. So uh...good on you.

As weird as this has been, I really respect your statement there. **** the hive mind and be yourself. Though, there is a harmony that's good to keep with any community you're involved in, or humanity in general. That being said, it's best to find your own balance.

Heh, Yeah, I also think the hive-mind appreciates honesty, if I really do write like a 1950s writer (if short) I should continue to be that way, they know that's worthy of some respect.I really should acknowledge that the group (unfortunantly) has lost it's mind, and I shouldn't take their feedback as if it came from a counsel of "wise men".

Still, I have resolved to not give this up, I've become absurd (in a good way), I don't want this game to stay as it is.I literally think that the multiplayer is unacceptable, and should have been delayed to fix it.
